Scissor Lift and Scissor Lifts Information
Everything about
scissor lift
Scissor lifts give you great lifting capacity and extra floor space, but
are limited in their reach and height capabilities. When compared to
boom lifts, scissor lifts have a greater weight capacity and larger
available workspace on the platform. While the operation of the scissor
lift is similar to that of a boom lift, the main difference is that with
the scissor lift the platform is only able to be raised vertically.
There is, however, the ability to purchase an additional option which
allows the users to extend the platform up to 6 ft. horizontally.
The scissor lift makes accomplishing many construction and maintenance
tasks possible. One industry that makes frequent use of the scissor lift
is painters or drywallers who need to be raised in order to work on high
ceilings and walls. The scissor lift is invaluable when you need to lift
and then work with heavy material. An example of this applying side
paneling to a house, since the paneling would not fit in a boom lift
basket.
Initially the only mobility of scissor lifts came from low tech casters.
As people began to discover all the tasks that could be completed with
the scissor lift, the manufactures began to invent improved versions of
this flexible equipment. One innovation that was added was motorized
controls. Anther improvement was models that could navigate through
rough terrain. This was a welcome machine for people who needed the
large platform of a scissor lift but have to work on uneven surfaces.
While boom lifts have really gained in popularity, innovations in both
technology and design have helped the scissor lift remain in heavy use.
One area where the boom lift offers the scissor lift no competition is
the large platform/workspace. The scissor lift is definitely a prime
example of aerial work spaces.
